1.
I'm seeing the following build failures on s390 due to,

## Build errors:
arch/s390/include/asm/fpu-insn.h: In function 'fpu_vst':
arch/s390/include/asm/fpu-insn.h:381:36: error: 'size' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'ksize'?
  381 |         kmsan_unpoison_memory(vxr, size);
      |                                    ^~~~
      |                                    ksize

The commit point to,
  s390/fpu: Fix false-positive kmsan report in fpu_vstl()
  [ Upstream commit 14e4e4175b64dd9216b522f6ece8af6997d063b2 ]

2.
The clang-21 allyesconfig builds failed on on arm, arm64, riscv and x86_64
as it was reported on the 6.18.2-rc1 and 6.17.13-rc2.
